Heavy snowfall over the weekend in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and northern Plains caused multiple water rescues, road closures, and power outages, resulting in the deaths of at least two people. In Sacramento County, emergency crews responded to fallen trees and disabled vehicles in the flood waters, while US Highway 101 was closed in South San Francisco due to flooding and high tides. More wet weather is expected in the West this week from storms brewing in the Gulf of Alaska.
California was hit with a powerful storm on New Year's Day, bringing drenching rain and heavy snowfall to much of the state. More than 4 feet of snow had accumulated in the Sierra Nevada, while San Francisco experienced its second-wettest day on record. Despite the storm, the weather cleared up in time for the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena.
The National Weather Service reported that more than 235,000 homes, businesses and other power customers in California and Nevada had been left in the dark due to the severe weather. High winds caused numerous power outages and heavy rainfall and snowfall caused flooding, water rescues, and disabled vehicles. US Highway 101 and Interstate 80 were partially closed due to multiple spinouts, and residents were advised to avoid travel due to the hazardous conditions. The severe weather is a relief for drought-stricken California, bringing 4 feet of snow to the high Sierra Nevada and 5.46 inches of rain to downtown San Francisco.
